Abrazo Turns 3: More Than a Juice Bar, It’s a Movement

Feb 9 2025

We all have that one spot—the place where the coffee is always right, the people remember your name, and the vibe is just… different. In Malta, that place is Abrazo.

From the moment you step inside, it’s clear: this is more than just a juice bar. It’s where music hums in the background, where conversations flow effortlessly, and where a simple coffee stop turns into an experience. Abrazo isn’t just about serving fresh juices, expertly brewed coffee, or handcrafted sandwiches—it’s about community.

Three years ago, Abrazo opened its doors with a simple but powerful idea—fresh flavours, real connections, and a space that feels like home. Today, as they celebrate their third anniversary, it’s clear that Abrazo has become more than just a juice bar. It’s a lifestyle, a meeting place, and a community.

Abrazo 3 The Abrazo story began with two friends, Godwin Mckay and Sean Zachory Ellingsen, who met in Copenhagen in 2019. Their bond was built on a shared love for coffee, good food, and great company. They dreamed of opening a place that reflected their values, but the idea remained just that—a dream.

That all changed in 2021 when Sean visited Malta for the first time. Inspired by the island’s energy, they decided: this is where it should happen. One year later, Abrazo was born. Their concept? Simple but different. Not just a juice bar. Not just a coffee shop. But a place where everything comes together. And the people of Malta embraced it. In 2023, Abrazo expanded, launching a second location near the Skate Park by the University of Malta—a spot that quickly became a favourite hangout.

What’s Next? A Fresh Take on Salads

To mark their third anniversary, Abrazo is evolving once again. Introducing their newest menu addition: a lineup of vibrant, flavour-packed salads.

Wonder Beef – Bold, protein-rich, and satisfying

Tuna Pearl – A seafood twist with a refreshing touch

Veggie Power – A colourful, plant-based delight

Abrazo’s Caesar – A classic, done the Abrazo way Fresh, energising, and perfect for those who want healthy without compromising on taste.

More Than a Juice Bar. More Than a Brand.

Three years in, Abrazo is more than a business—it’s a feeling. It’s that spot where you start your day, meet a friend, or take a breather from the chaos of life. It’s where good food meets good vibes. So as Abrazo celebrates three years of flavour, community, and connection, one thing is clear: this is just the beginning. Here’s to the next chapter. Here’s to Abrazo.
